[Verse 1]
Dsus2     D5    D   Dsus2     Em
There she sits, her hands are held...
Em7       G         D   D/F#  D/E  D
Tight a - round her glass,
    Dsus2 D5    D  Dsus2  Em
She only  needs to be a - lone,
    Em7        G         D   D/F#  D/E  D
She knows this mood will pass,
   E      Esus4    A
To real - ise that she was strong,
    Am          Am6 E
And he too weak to  stay,
       E7sus4  C        F      Bb              C
And to real  - ise that she is better off this way
 
[Chorus]
      G              G7/F
Brief candles in his mind,
           C/E          Cm7/D#  D
Bright and tiny gems of memor - y,
      G               G7/F           C/E
Brief candles burn so fine, leaves a light inside,
      Cm7/D# D        C                    G
Where he can see what makes it all worth - while,
    C                 A     Asus4 A
Her sadness makes her smile---------! Oo!
 
[Verse 2]
Dsus2    D5    D    Dsus2     Em
He's a - lone, girl fades a - way,
Em7      G    D   D/F#  D/E  D
Left out on a limb,
Dsus2    D5    D   Dsus2
Finds he needs her more...
     Em          Em7     G        D   D/F#  D/E  D
Be - cause she's no more need for him,
   E       Esus4    A
He under - stood so very well...
    Am             Am6 E               E7sus4 C
The things she had to  say, soon he'll under- stand
        F     Bb              C
...That he is better off this way
 
[Chorus]
      G              G7/F
Brief candles in his mind,
           C/E          Cm7/D#  D
Bright and tiny gems of memor - y,
      G               G7/F           C/E
Brief candles burn so fine, leaves a light inside,
      Cm7/D# D        C                    G
Where he can see what makes it all worth - while,
    C                 A     Asus4 A
Her sadness makes him smile---------! Oo!

[Verse 3]
Dsus2  D5     D    Dsus2   Em
In the corn - er,  see his face,
    Em7      G        D   D/F#  D/E  D
The man just sips his drink,
Dsus2   D5     D   Dsus2   Em
Not one feel - ing does he show,
     Em7     G       D   D/F#  D/E  D
He's far too numb to think,
   E        Esus4 A               Am          Am6 E
He does not say a single word, no word of love to say
      E7sus4  C        F          Bb              C
Maybe he will soon be- lieve he's better off this way
 
[Chorus]
      G              G7/F
Brief candles in his mind,
           C/E          Cm7/D#  D
Bright and tiny gems of memor - y,
      G               G7/F           C/E
Brief candles burn so fine, leaves a light inside,
      Cm7/D# D        C                    G
Where he can see what makes it all worth - while,
    C                 A     Asus4 A
His sadness makes him smile---------! Oo!
